Chapter 251: Labyrinth
It is the center of the largest city on all of Permafrost, in the underground space of a relatively well-preserved building. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It took a full month for Yuan Chen, Smith and Lynn to break through the passage that had been frozen for hundreds of millions of years.
In fact, this relic was the first to attract the attention of Yuan Haochen and others, but because the difficulty of exploration was too great, it was put to the end for the sake of efficiency.
"Why is there a labyrinth here?"
Lynn, who had just entered the underground space, pointed to a labyrinth in front of him that had unexpectedly appeared in his field of vision, and said in surprise.
"And this labyrinth is still so simple, is it insulting the IQ of our ball people?" Smith chimed in.
They were right, the maze didn't seem complicated.
It's just a flat, two-dimensional labyrinth, with only length and width, and no height, like a maze of lines drawn on a fun book for elementary school students.
Although the labyrinth's line barriers on the paper have been replaced by more complex deep grooves (the labyrinth's passages are lined with deep trenches dug down), this does not change the nature of a two-dimensional labyrinth.
This Yang's labyrinth, Yuan Haochen can use God's perspective to observe the layout of the entire labyrinth in advance, and then choose the most accurate path to get out.
So, without much time and effort, the three of them successfully passed through the maze and passed through the exit into a long passage.
"What the hell is going on? What's the point of this broken labyrinth? ”
Smith was still a little confused, and Lynn was also confused.
"Be careful, this place is not the same as the places we've explored before."
Yuan Haochen cautiously explained, he also didn't understand the situation.
Passing through the passage, they entered another, more enclosed space. As expected, another maze appeared in the new space, only this time the maze was no longer two-dimensional, but replaced by a closed three-dimensional maze that could not be "cheated" with the eyes.
"Look, there's something at the entrance to the maze!?"
It was as if Smith had discovered a new continent.
When the three of them surrounded them, they found that at the entrance of the new maze, there was a one-person-high diamond-shaped operating platform. It's not the first time they've seen such an operating platform. In the past year, they'd seen similar consoles in other ruins. Moreover, the operating platform in the dome space of the [Source of Creation] is also of this similar style.
It's just that the diamond-shaped operating platform they found on frozen Saturn in the past is not powered by energy and cannot be opened.
"First, carefully scan the console and the surrounding space to see if it is safe." Yuan Haochen said cautiously.
“ok!” Smith was quick to act, and soon, he had the results, "It has been confirmed, no danger signs and no sources of energy have been found." ”
"Thank you. I don't know if this console can still be started? After confirming that it was safe, Yuan Haochen raised his right hand and slapped it on the diamond-shaped console with the mentality of trying. No way, the size of the Creator is really not so harmonious for earthlings.
"Buzz~Buzz~"
A burst of ethereal sounds and fluctuations came out.
"I can start ......"
"Zi~Zi~"
Before Yuan Haochen's voice fell, a burst of red spectrum was emitted from one end of the console extremely quickly, and before he could react, he had already slashed his head and swept him from top to bottom.
"What the hell!?"
"Be careful!"
Yuan Haochen was startled, and flashed to the side reflexively, but he could not escape the shroud of the red spectrum.
"Isn't there no danger after scanning? How to ......"
The three of them were stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, after the red spectrum, Yuan Haochen did not feel any discomfort or inappropriateness.
"Suddenly~Suddenly~"
As soon as the red spectrum disappears, a line of text symbols jumps out of the display.
"This ......"
"There are two kinds of scripts."
Yuan Haochen immediately discovered the clues.
"One is the writing of the Creator civilized world. There is also a type of symbol, with only two symbols that are repeated over and over again, and it looks like a binary information code! Lynn, who has a deep knowledge of science, quickly figured out the origin of these two words.
"Welcome, guests from afar."
Yuan Haochen directly read out the text on the display screen in Chinese!
"What!?"
Smith and Lynn shouted in amazement.
Neither of them could directly read the words of the Creator world. Binary code, on the other hand, is the easiest type of data to decipher, but it takes a lot of time to do with the help of a computer.
But Yuan Haochen is different, it is he who personally deciphers the text of the Creator's civilized world, and in fact, he has already completely mastered the relevant use of words. As a result, he can read the text on the display without the help of translation software. At the same time, because the language is similar to the grammar and usage habits of Chinese, the literal translation of Yuan Chenchen is Chinese.
"Welcome us? How did they make sure we were guests from afar......"
Yuan Haochen remembered the red spectrum that suddenly appeared just now, and vaguely realized that it might be scanning his body structure.
"Look, what's written in the back?"
Smith and Lynn asked, expectantly.
"Oh." Yuan Haochen replied, and once again set his eyes on the text on the screen.
"We are intelligent beings born from the star system in which you are currently located. By the time you read this, we have been away from this place for a long time, and our world has long since become a distant past. ”
Yuan Haochen touched the diamond-shaped control platform, and the new text appeared again.
"Although we don't know where you came from or why you are here, it does not prevent us from crossing the barrier of time and sending greetings to you in the distant past. Hello intelligent beings you have never met! ”
"The universe seems too vast and too lonely to us. In fact, due to the lack of technology, until we left this star system, we did not have the opportunity to communicate with intelligent beings from other galaxies, which is a real shame! We have even wondered if we are the only intelligent beings in the universe. So, it's a great relief for you to be here and read this text. Sadly, we left and never knew of your arrival. ”
"Although we finally chose to leave here, we have been lonely for too long, and we still hope that other cosmic civilizations can learn about the past when we were born, developed, and prospered in this star system. At the same time, we would like to share with you some of the science and technology that we are proud of. ”
"But only if you pass the test we left behind. Yes, the test is the labyrinth in front of us. There are a number of reasons why this test is set up for a number of reasons. If you fail to pass the labyrinth, then the information we leave behind will be meaningless to you. ”
"We've already given the hints we should give. Finally, good luck to you guys! ”
"Labyrinth test?"
"Proud of science and technology!!"
Yuan Chen, Smith, and Lynn were still difficult to calm down the surging in their hearts for a while, what happened just now was the first communication between two different cosmic civilizations! (To be continued.) )
